That interactive interactive konsole bit gave me a very good 'kick over the threshold' to extend my tcl horizon with the python language, the other parts gave me a good base to see the logic behind the syntax the way i do in tcl... 1 + 1 = 2 Thanx!

One correction: in line 4 of the second code block of the "The for Loop" section, you need to remove the colon after the raw_input is closed. As it stands, it throws a syntax error.

But then again, very few books pull that off effectively. I think it was the combination of first-person narrative with said anticlimactic events that really helped to ingrain his (clothar's) character in my mind. It was very anticlimactic for me.

I picked this one up in the library (I'd watched the LOTR movies and attempted with much boredom to read the actual novels). The LOTR series, as books didn't seem much to me. But reading this I understood why. Becuase with a book you have to have a linear plot, everything has to be orderly and tidy even when it's not. To write a book you have to make sacrifices. The Silmarillion really isn't a book though. It a life work, depicting the mind, and fantasy of Tolkien in great detail, having took decades to weave (and not even being finished). It's been some years since last I read it, but for each victory I felt an upwelling in my heart, for each tragedy I weeped, and at the turning of the ages, I longed for things lost to the past. Tolkien's ability to take us, and like a river of emotion, sweep us off our feet is illustrated oh-so-effectively in the Silmarillion. Indeed, the word "epic" does not do it justice. -Jim While incareracted (please don’t think little of me for that fact) there was very few books to read.

It seems like to many tutorials try to throw you in "deep water" before you've learned to doggy paddle :\ Keep up the good work, and thanks! -Jim Good article, really helped me to grasp the basic concepts.

It only teaches you how to print Hello World! I will add more Java tutorials, and library specific things when I get into Java some time in the future. ...or maybe you can write some since you're learning it anyway ^_^ you know what they say, the best way to learn is to teach!
